Amy Ross: employment relations expert voices support for new bill protecting employees' rights to discuss their wages

from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB

An employment relations expert says many workers want to discuss how much they earn - and should be allowed to. A Bill put forward by Labour would protect that right for employees. It's supported by all parties, except for ACT and New Zealand First.  Amy Ross says information about salaries belongs to the worker - and this bill would not force them to share it.  "If I want to be able to discuss that and I want to be able to identify potential inequality in the workplace, then I should have the right to do so without risking getting fired or getting called into a disciplinary meeting.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
